As off-season’s go, Glen Sather really hasn’t had a good one since the lockout.
You might remember that one when the Ranger’s GM scrambled to fill his team with Czechs, just to keep Jaromir Jagr, his one superstar, happy. That worked with the Rangers making the playoffs for the first time in seven years.
But since then…Uggh.
The [...]

When the final buzzer sounded, the Rangers and an entire fanbase exhaled. That’s what kind of topsy turvy night it was as somehow minus captain Chris Drury, they found a way to edge Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals, stealing Game One of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference Quarterfinal 4-3 at a jam packed Verizon Center in [...]

NEW YORK – The New York Rangers are in the playoffs. The Blueshirts qualified for the postseason on the penultimate gameday by defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 at Madison Square Garden Thursday night. The team will conclude the regular season at Philadelphia Sunday before starting the playoffs as either a 7 or 8 seed in [...]

John Tortorella wasn’t happy. If you tuned in here earlier, neither was I, nor should any other Ranger fan who watched that first period disgrace.
Apparently, it’s not the same old song anymore. The fiery Tortorella benched Nikolai Zherdev for the rest of the game getting the rest of his team’s attention. The fire was lit [...]

UNIONDALE, NY – The Rangers entered last night’s match against the Islanders determined to get another win for new coach john Tortorella. The Islanders, on the other hand, just wanted to put a hurting on Sean Avery.
The much maligned wing made his return to the NHL last night and the Isles, who were playing a [...]

NEW YORK – The New York Rangers long dormant attack came alive at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, as the Blueshirts trounced the Colorado Avalanche 6-1.
In a game that was all but decided after 15 minutes, a half dozen different Rangers scored in the team’s first six goal performance of the season. Scott Gomez [...]

NEW YORK – John Tortorella didn’t come in with some magic goal scoring serum. And the last time we checked, there haven’t been any miracles to his credit.
Tortorella is just a hockey coach – a good one – but not someone who can turn around the Rangers over night.
Because of that the first two game [...]

NEW YORK – The New York Rangers struggles continued as the team lost an important game to the Florida Panthers at Madison Square Garden Thursday night. Despite outshooting the visitors 41-22 and taking a 1-0 lead into the final nine minutes of the game, the Rangers came up 2-1 losers in a game they could [...]

The effort was certainly there. But the finishing still was lacking in the Rangers’ 2-1 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre in new coach John Tortorella’s debut.
Old habits die hard. There’s a reason the former Lightning coach took over the NHL’s worst offensive team and it was on display again despite [...]

GREENBURGH, NY – In one day, John Tortorella had his presence felt at the MSG Training Center.
Gone are the stats and schedule, Tom Renney had hanging up in the locker room.
Gone are the easy going rules, such as allowing the media step on the logo in the middle of the floor.
And gone was Mike Pelino [...]
